Biography
Balwant Singh Rajoana was born on 23 August 1967 in Rajoana Kalan, Punjab, India. From 1992 to 1995, it was rumored that 25,000+ Sikhs were either murdered or "disappeared" under Chief Minister Beant Singh, so the constable Rajoana and his acquaintance Dilawar Singh Babbar decided to join Babbar Khalsa International. Rajoana won a coin toss and was not the suicide bomber, with Babbar killing Singh in a suicide bombing. Rajoana was imprisoned, saying that the Operation Blue Star offensive in 1984 justified his actions, and he was sentenced to death. However, in 2012 he was given a stay of execution and kept in prison.
